Try These NFL Picks In Your Office Pool

With the NFL kickoff tonight, it's time to get your picks in! If you're part of an office pool, you'll want to save these winners.

A couple of these picks may be wildly unpopular.

This will be fun. It's a brand new season and every NFL team is optimistic that this will be their year. Even the hapless Cleveland Browns have hope after losing every game last year. It's a clean slate baby.

So...most confident and loud-mouthed fans think their teams will start the season with a win, and they'll pick accordingly, right? Yeah, no. I'm going with the opposite approach. Setting the bar low and being pleasantly surprised seems like the way to go, so I'm picking against most of the teams that I like and if they lose I'll be sad, but at least the pick will be right.

Wanna copy these sexy picks? Feel free. I pretty much threw a dart at each game and picked the punctured team as the loser. There is no method to this madness in Week 1, other than knowing that the Patriots will win because they always do. And Russell Wilson is hot, so, therefore, the Seahawks will win. It works out well in my head.
